The infant was last seen around 11:30 p.m. May 29, on the front porch of 748 Jay Street in Utica, police said.

Jevon Wameling left his child unattended for a few minutes in front of his home on Jay Street when he realized he was locked out of his home, police said. He went around to the back of the home to get inside and when he returned to the front of the house, the child was missing, he said.

Officials continue to search the area around Jay Street. Canine units, state police, the FBI, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children are all assisting with the search. Police have been searching the area for two days. They are interviewing family members and neighbors, they said.

No arrests have been made in connection with the case.

On Thursday, Utica police took to Facebook asking residents not to take it upon themselves to search the area of the infant's father's home.

"There has been an ongoing police search that will continue, and your presence may contaminate the area," police said.

They advised residents to check their yards and the immediate area near their homes and have asked anyone with information about the child's whereabouts to contact the Utica Police Department at 223-3503.
